The region of Iphos is commonly divided into three geographical masses. The large island to the northwest is known as Uradeth. The archipelago of the southwest is known as the Cilurian Islands. The landmass of the east extends beyond the known world and is known as Adin. Several uninhabited and uncharted islands dot the three seas of Iphos and hold forgotten ad dangerous secrets.
Uradeth
The lands of Uradeth are divided between three rival families. The three dynasties were once united, but a succession crisis decades ago split three siblings who then married into new alliances and claimed new family names. Uradeth has since seen some form of conflict between the three realms. The island is far enough from the other realms that they get to settle their matters without external pressure. Each crown is fiercely independent. Currently, there is a three-way war between the three rulers. A ceasefire is under negotiation, but it is not set to last.
Cilurian Islands
The Confederate Empire of Ciluria, known commonly as the Cilurian Islands, is made up of the 7 diverse islands spanning the southwest region of Iphos. The empire's economy is bolstered by a strong trading culture. It changes the head of government every 10 years to the next island-state in line. The Cilurian Islands are incredible sources of racial diversity. Elves, gnomes, halflings, and even giants call this archipelago their home. The capital, Hymari, is a neutral island that primarily serves as a seat of power to govern the islands.
Adin
Adin, the eastern continent, has become the center of a cultural and religious revolution. A new pantheon originating from unknown lands further east was introduced to Iphos through Adin. These new gods compete for the spaces occupied by the Old Gods. The southern Vezera and the northern Padias have fortified their borders and waged war on the middle nations, who have united in an alliance led by the militaristic hobgoblin rulers of Demarun. The war has cooled down as attrition takes its toll on both sides, but the Demarun are expected to make counterattacks soon before the harvest season begins.
